Code 357 15 20 25 flying black-beaded gulls, which are normally able to escape predators by means of direct flight, to show frequent changes in flight direction when they spot a peregrine falcon (peregrines are adept at capturing flying birds) A quite different way of enhancing escape by flight is to use so-called "flash" behavior Here, the alarmed prey flees for a short distance and then "freezes." Some predators are unexcited by immobile prey, and a startling flash of activity followed by immobility may confuse them "Flash" behavior is used in particular by frogs and orthopteran insects, which make conspicuous jumps and then sit immobile In some species, "flash" behavior is enhanced by the display of bright body markings Good examples of insects with colorful markings are the red and yellow underwing moths At rest, both species are a cryptic brown color When they fly, however, brightly colored hind wings are exposed, which render the moths highly conspicuous Similarly, some frogs and lizards have brightly colored patches or frills that may serve a “flash" function when they move quickly Some species even appear to possess "flash" sounds The loud buzzing and clicking noises made by some grasshoppers when they jump may serve to emphasize the movement Question 11: The word "enhance” in line is closest in meaning to _ A increase B resist C encourage D reveal Question 12: The description of the prey's movement as "zigzag" in line 10 suggests that the movement is _ A constant B reliable C unpredictable D fast Question 13: It can be inferred from the passage that the European hare _ A is faster than most of its predators B is preyed upon by gulls and falcons C is capable of two kinds of flight D is more likely to escape using straight flight Question 14: The behaviour of black-beaded gulls is most comparable to that of _ A European hares B gazelles C frogs D peregrine falcons Question 15: It can be inferred that black-beaded gulls change direction when they spot a peregrine falcon for which of the following reasons? A The falcons are unpredictable B The gulls want to capture the falcons C The falcons are faster than the gulls D The gulls depend on the falcons for protection Question 16: The word "alarmed" in line 17 is closest in meaning to _ A moving B selected C frightened D exhausted Question 17: All of the followings are mentioned as characteristics of "flash" behavior in line 16 EXCEPT _ A aggressive fighting B bright body markings C immobility D brief conspicuous activity Question 18: The phrase "in particular" in line 19 is closest in meaning to _ A frequently B especially C with difficulty D expertly Question 19: The hind wings of red and yellow underwing moths function in a way that is most similar to _ A the colored patches on frogs B the clicking of grasshoppers C the zigzag flight of European hares D the hind wings of peregrine falcons Question 20: Why does the author mention "grasshopper" in line 26?

rather, virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group 10 Furthermore, although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader, research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group Group members look into instrumental leaders to “get things done.” Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-being of a social 15 group’s member Expressive leader are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them Group members expect expressive leaders to maintain stable relationships within the group and provide support to individual members Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group 20 members They give orders and may discipline group members who inhibit attainment of the group’s goals Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties or is subjected to discipline, are quick to lighten a serious moment with humor, and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group As the differences in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more 25 personal affection from group members;
